New YORK, June 3.-The cut
presents this week two subjects, one
q representation of the fashionable
couture, aud the other a hat for a
young lady. The couture is one suit
able for evening wear at home, the
hair being quite simply arranged,
with a coil upon the top of the head,
surmounted by a bow of picot rib
bon with a rose set in it. The couture
of the season is not always so simple
as this one. An alarming quantity
of ribbon bows, fancy tortoise shells,
gold and silver combs, elaborate
pins and similar ornaments render the
head full Of weighty matters in one
sense, if not in another.
The hat is a round straw shape,
with turned up brim, which is very
high in front, oping toward the
rear, and bound on the edge with
dove gray satin, piece of velvet in
the same shade being drawn across
the side of the hat, with pin run
through it. The picot ribbons upon
the front are of Charles X satin,
with pompon set in amidst them Of
English pink. A small feather
aigrette completes the garniture.
Summer seems essentially the
children's season, where dress is
concerned. The heavy materials and
solid. somber colors which the cold
weather imposes upon them seem
totally inappropriate, particularly
where little girl is in question,
Some of the costumeslworn by the
coming generation are prettier than
any previous seasons have produced.
l noted one, the other day, upon a
charming little blue eyed sprite of
seven or eight years, which was in
cream India muslin, although it was
such mass of embroidery as to rem
der the muslin almost of secondary
importance. On the skirt the mus
lin was alterDated with broad insert
ings of embroidery, which was
surrounded and defined by narrow
strip Of dark brown satin ribbon,
run through and carried down to the
waist from both sides, where it formed
knot, the ends falling over the
skirt. The sleeves we're full, made
to appear as though attached to
guimpe at the shoulders, and of fine
white muslin, which allowed CLEAN
of the plump little arms inside to be-
come visible. Below the yoke, and
within the space marked by the rib
bon, the waist was composed of the
India muslin. Altogether this was
one of the prettiest child's dresses of
the season. Although the dress it
self was entirely in cream and white,
black stockings were worn. These
seem to have become universal for
children.

A quietly elegant theater dress
worn to a matinee was in tabac Otto
man silk, which formed the skirt,
with basque and drapery of cafe au
lait cashmere. The basque was
made with plated vest Of the silk,
bordered by velvet reverS and the
Byron collar, also of velvet, had
within it an inner collar Of the silk,
quilted all the way around, besides
lace ruching, the same effect being
reproduced at the wrists. The
draperies being of cashmere we're of
course perfect, long tablier, having
the point at the left side and looped
with chocolate ribbon, rather high
on the hips, formed the front and
sides, and the back drapery was
rather short, the undermost folds be-
ing of the Ottoman.
The Moliere front seems to be
coming once again into fashion, a
fact which indicates more good
sense on the part of the changeable
dame than her detractors give her
credit for. The revival of this very
attractive basque garniture should
be hailed with much pleasure.
W.
A very original and unique basque
model has a yoke of olive green
camePs hair cloth, bordered with
braid embroidery in darker shade
below this yoke six wide plaits of
silk in the same shade and reaching
the entire width of the basque COM
mence, and converge from the bosom
to a point below the waist. Here
they separate, three expanding to the
right and three to the left, so giving
the basque something of a jacket
shape. The cuffs and collar are Gov
cred with braid embroidery.
Among the new ideas in silk hosie-
ry is q spiral stripe which encircleS
the stocking, running round it from
knee to ankle, and usually in lighter
shade OF the same color as the ground
upon which it is woven. The idea is
an odd one, but does not lack attrac-
tiveness.
There is a new invention before
the votaries Of fashion which, except
among the top, will not, | think, find
q great deal of favor. This is what is
termed a riding trouser" which, in
reality, forms pair OF black elk
tights, very closely resembling those
worn upon the stage. In fact, quite
too much so: They are the expert,
ments OF a house here whose word
on matters of dress is, to a very large
circle OF fashionable ladies, law, and
on that account it is to be expected

SELECTING A HAREM I'm CHINA.

Less than three months ago the
seventeen year old Emperor of China
formally assumed the reins of gov
eminent. Before and since that
event, according to all reports, all the
eligible Manchu maidens have been
in futter over the choosing of the
female members of the court. The
Emperor is, by law, entitled to seven
concubines, and he may fill his harem
with any number OF illegal" concu-
bines. No degradation attaches to
this relation in the imperial palace.
Indeed, it is a place to which any
Manchu lady of the requisite rank is
proud to aspire. II an inmate of the
harem she may become the mother
of an Emperor as the throne does not
descend to any particular son of the
ruler, but it is his custom to name as
his successor any male member of
his family of a younger generation
than himself whom he wishes
to have as his heir. There are
other possible results Of life in
the imperial harem that induce
ambitious young women to regard
admittance to its exclusive circles as
highly desirable. When any Of the
illegal concubines give birth to
son her status is legitimatized and
she becomes princess of the
blood" and a sharer thereafter in the
fortunes of her boy, who, if he does
not become an Emperor, has excep-
tional opportunities for brilliant
career. All the young ladies who do
not present the Emperor with a son
or daughter by the time they are
twenty-five years old are returned to
the homes of their parents. No
stain attaches to their character. In
fact they are regarded as persons of
distinction and they are eagerly
sought in marriage by gentleman of
their own rank. Of course, they are
all beautiful women, for no others
are admitted to the Emperor's
seraglio. Every three years
the harem is in this sense
weeded out, and then OPP
portunity is afforded for other tender
maidens in their teens to undergo
the ordeal Of the competitive exami-
nation which appears to be as promi-
nent a feature Of the love affairs of
His Majesty as of the Chinese civil
service. Indeed, the manner of filling
and managing the imperial harem
has changed very little since the
time, over 600 years ago, when Marco
Polo wrote his graphic description of
the domestic life Of Kublai Khan,
the great Mogul Emperor, who mag
nificently adorned the very grounds
in Pekin where the present Emperor
resides.

abandon and give up to the blacks,
as no one then believed the two
races could ever live together in
peace when the blacks were no long
or under control. The only way,
then, to avert this catastrophe was
for the South to acquire enough new
slave States to prevent the North
from getting three fourths majority.
For so long as this majority did
not exist, the constitution would pro-
tect the South in her right to hold
her slaves. But the only way by
which she could hope to acquire new
slave States was to have the Terrific
ries thrown open to her people for
settlement with their slaves.
However the war may have been
brought on or FASTENED, and whatev-
er may have been the structures since
regarding the repeal Of the Missouri
compromise, one fact is clear and can
be clearly shown, that Mr.. Dixon had
with him at the time, in sentiment
and opinion, the whole of the South
ern people and the entire Democratic
party OF the North, excepting the
Free Soil wing of it, and perhaps a
few men whose prudence forbade so
bold a demand for rights which had
been so long ignored they had ceased
to be recognized as rights. When
he offered that repeal he felt, as did
the whole South, and the Democrats
of the North as a body, that he was
doing his high and bounden duty as
true patriot in removing the legisla-
tive obstacle which stood in the way
ofthe Southern people in regard to
the settlement of the new Terri
tories, and thereby the acquisition Of
new States, which should enable
them to maintain their own freedom
under the constitution, and their
own equality in the Union, and their
constitutional right to regulate their
own internal policy.
The whole matter in nutshell is
this: The principles of non-interven-
ton by Congress with slavery in the
territories, as embodied in the COM
promise measures Of 1850 meant
that the people of the Territories
should vote as to whether they
should have slavery in the Terrific
ries or not; but how could the
Southern people ever vote in the
Territories when the Missouri re-
striction prohibited their going there?
Hence its repeal, in justice to the
South.

Mr.. Michael i. Woods, of Alabama.
is to be believed President Cleveland
has virtually decided upon the APP
pointment OF a successor to ex-Justice
Woods, of the United States Supreme
Court. The fortunate man, accord
ing to Mr., Woods, is Judge Edward
w. Pettus, of Alabama. In the course
of an interview to-day Mr., Woods
said -
81 know that the President sent for
Judge Pettus and it was to consult
him about the appointment Senator
George was prominently mentioned
at one time, but Secretary Lamar
appeared on the scene and George
dropped ont OF sight, But Lamar will
not be appointed
"You can say without fear of con
tradictinn that he President cOnsid
ers Lamar his chief counsellor and
on that account he will give him up
| am of the opinion that Judge Pettus
will receive the appointment and he
is man who will be a credit to the
State and Bench add prove once
